Miso-Glazed Pineapple with Black Sesame
Sweet caramelized pineapple meets umami-rich miso in this stunning dessert that takes just minutes to prepare. The black sesame adds a nutty crunch that ties everything together.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into rings
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
Preparation
This recipe was born from a happy accident at a dinner party when I grabbed miso instead of tahini. The result was so spectacular that it's become my go-to impressive dessert.
Preparation:
- Mix the miso paste and honey in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Brush both sides of the pineapple rings generously with the miso-honey glaze.
- Sear the pineapple rings for 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized and golden brown.
- Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with black sesame seeds while still hot.
Serve immediately while the pineapple is still warm and the glaze is glossy. The contrast between the sweet fruit, salty miso, and nutty sesame creates an addictive flavor profile that will have guests asking for seconds.
